I've been playing through one of the Russian static fighter campaigns, and I'm having real trouble taking on the faster German planes which always climb out of range.

And the reason you cannot climb to their altitude is????
Superchargers and the right fuel mixture and you will be in the stratousphere with them

Online I have been bounced by an I-16 at over 7000m, realistic i doubt it but in Il2 it is possible. Your solution is to climb at least 1000ft above them and then take the turnfight to them. Early 190's handle like dogs up there
